A buddy came up with a good playbook:

"Search: Duck Duck Go (Not as great as google search, but it will do most times--I'll probalby end up back for google books and google scholar, though, unless somebody knows a good alternative there)

Email/cloud storage: Yahoo/Dropbox (I'm not thrilled with this. Their security breaches suck. But they do offer a terabyte of storage, which is a whole lot more than Google's 15GB. I'd be happy to hear alternatives)

Phone OS: LineageOS (I'll see how it works, if it's about as easy as Ubuntu, it will probably be a good way out--only worried about how it will deal with carrier software and updates, etc).

Docs/Sheets: Microsoft? Zoho? (I'm not sold, I'll probably end up with one of those two, unless somebody knows a better option)

Play: MicroG (this seems good)

Alerts: Talkwalker

Calendar: Fruux (should be fine)

Maps: Herewego (Not sure if there's anything better out there)

Browser: Opera (I already made this move a while ago, and it's much snappier and better than Chrome)

Translator: Bing (I've been using this already too. It's quite good, and works with voice)

Scholar: MS Academic Search (I know, it feels like trading one devil for another now, but this is pretty good too; base-search is the only other I know of, and it's good for some things, not as much for others)

Books: Haithi Trust (might be the best option, but it's a bit clunky)"
